From David Marshall
James:
Fifty years
ago this past August, principal photography wrapped on “The Sound of Music,”
which would premier in March 1965 and go on to become the highest-grossing film
of all time, a distinction it held into the early 1970s. However, for the year 1965, it came in second
to—“Mary Poppins,” which premiered 50 years ago, in August 1964. Julie Andrews may have lost her Broadway role
of Eliza Doolittle to Audrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady,” but in 1965, Andrews
was the biggest star on the planet.
She would
receive the Best Actress Oscar for “Mary Poppins,” and “The Sound of Music”
would win Best Picture. Few films have
had the sort of repeat business that “TSOM” had—plus, it was incredibly popular
in Europe. In England, it played for
years in one theater. Moreover, the
soundtrack album topped the American record charts for months. In the United Kingdom, that album was second
only to The Beatles for the entire decade of the 1960s.
If “ray”
means “a drop of golden sun” in your lexicon, you should indulge in “The Sound of Music’ Family Scrapbook,” which includes remembrances
from the seven actors who portrayed the Von Trapp children in the film. As with any good scrapbook, this one is
filled with photographs, particularly of location shooting in Salzburg,
Austria. These young actors were
accompanied by their mothers, who seem to have had a contest as to who could
take the most pictures. If you like the
film, this volume will register as one of your “favorite things.”

Josie Rodgers:
Ice
bucket challenges are everywhere! While
the cold water and other positive challenges have been around for quite some
time, the ALS challenge is the hot one right now. Lou Gherig’s is a rare disease, but it is
astonishing to see how many people have or know someone who has or has fought
ALS. It’s wonderful to see so many
people not only recognizing the need to DO something to make changes in the
world, but they are actually DOING it—donating money and getting doused with
icy water.
My
challenge supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation because that is a charity near
to my heart because of Princess Leagrace.
Whatever charity you choose, please donate and spread the word. Social media has its problems and people who
misuse and abuse it, but so many more people use this type of media for the
good of the world. If you haven’t been challenged to the cold water or ice
bucket challenges, consider yourself challenged by me! And let me know what happened!
Another
movie you simply MUST see is God’s Not
Dead. Many of you have probably
already seen it, but we just got the chance Sunday night. It was powerful and moving! This is another DVD I will own! Anna and her friend Sara Miller went to see When the Game Stands Tall, yet another
movie I really need to see! Their
reviews were uplifting and positive!
RSM Middle: I finally got to visit the new school last Friday, and it is
beautiful! I didn’t get to tour or stay
too long, but just my little preview was fantastic! The kids seem quite excited to learn how to
use lockers! Poor 8th graders
will have one year with them and then no lockers at the high school (state fire
marshal code prevents it). Come by and
let the staff show your our fine facilities!
Open House will be held soon; this would be a perfect time to see the
new school!
RSM High: School pictures were taken this week! Do you remember your class picture days? Worried about your hair, your clothes, your
make-up? Disappointment as the picture
came back not resembling you at all (or so you thought?). As a sophomore, I had just gotten a
cosmetology student to give me my first perm not too long before school
pictures. Oh my goodness, my hair was a
whirlwind of blonde tresses that looked teased and windblown! Horrible!
I finally got my hair back to normal, but when yearbooks were delivered
in the spring, there was that hideous picture again! At least my senior pictures were decent!
The
high school will host Open House Mon., Sept. 15. More details later!
